Kennet and Avon Canal Towpath — Dundas Aqueduct to Avoncliff

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Running through leafy woodland and tranquil nature, the Kennet and Avon Canal links London with the Bristol Channel. Spanning 87 miles (140 km), the canal was once a vital trade artery in the 18th century to traffic goods across the country. Today, you can cycle its length, enjoying the many locks, abundant wildlife and stunning scenery.

Bear in mind that the path can become muddy after rain and some sections may be busy during rush hour and the weekend.

Dundas Aqueduct

Highlight • Bridge

Dundas Aqueduct carries the Kennet & Avon canal over the river Avon and the railway. It was opened in 1805 and designed by famous architect John Rennie.
The tow path between Bradford on Avon and Bath runs along the south side. To the north you can also cross the aqueduct to access the trails up through the woods to Conkwell or north along the river.
There is often a boat that sells ice cream and cold drinks, or you can leave the canal and follow the signed trail to the Angel Fish cafe where there are toilets.
You can often fill water from the boaters tap by the building and crane at the far side of the marina.

The towpath is lined with a fascinating range of both big and small canal boats to take a look at whilst you cycle past. Take care whilst cycling along the towpath as you will share it with both walkers and cyclists.

Parade Gardens

Highlight • Natural

Majestic park at river level over looking the weir and providing the perfect retreat from shopping!
These delightful gardens are Bath’s most centrally situated and popular pleasure grounds, attracting both tourists and residents. Overlooking the River Avon they give fine views of Robert Adams Pulteney Bridge and the weir, especially from the colonnade built early in the last century. The bedding displays are among the finest in the country and the annual 3-dimensional floral feature in the summer is always fun. Concerts are held in the bandstand throughout the summer months and children’s entertainment is provided during the summer holidays. Deck chairs are available. Picnics are allowed but there is also a café with outdoor seating.
Open from April to the end of September. There is a small entrance charge to non-Bath and North East Somerset residents.
